Steering swivel-coupling for new trike project

February 28, 2025 — BarryK

I have started a new project, to build a full-suspension tilting recumbent tadpole trike from scratch. Here are earlier posts:

Cannot guarantee that will finish this project; main interest right now is the technical challenge of implementing the new steering and tilting idea, rather than the end result. Thinking of all those DIYers out there, having detailed plans for parts of a trike will be helpful. This post is one component, the steering swivel-coupling. Measurements and details in this blog post, but there is also intended to be a video on YouTube, showing how it is contructed with a link back to this blog.

The new trike needs a name, so how about "The Meanderer"?

EDIT:
I decided to remove this first contruction post, as it is a bit premature. I'm still thinking out some details.
